Wrapped in Love

Welcome to another day of JustRite’s holiday stamp set debuts in July! Today’s new stamp sets are Christmas Miracle Ornaments: And Christmas Holly Background Stamp: I especially liked the “Wrapped in Love” sentiment in the Christmas Miracle Ornaments set, so I decided to make a holiday gift box: This darling snowflake 5-inch hexagon box is yet another Silhouette Studio file, cut with my new Cameo (can you tell I’m loving it?!!), with 3D snowflake pop-ups! The beautiful JustRite ornament was stamped with Cranberry ink and then colored with R81 and BG53 Copic markers. The 3D pop-up snowflake is glittery (maybe you can see it by clicking on the photo for a larger view), but I’m afraid my camera just didn’t catch it very well. The light blue seam binding from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store has a little Copic BG53 Various Ink Refill added to it to make it match the Broken China Distress Ink stamped “Wrapped in Love” sentiment.

Wishing You Joy

Today begins JustRite Papercraft’s July stamp set release and a few more 2012 holiday additions, starting with Noel Christmas Ornaments: I hadn’t made a tag in a while (and you know how much I love tags!) so here’s the first of my stash for this Christmas -- it measures 6" x 4": The tag and holly/berries were cut using my Silhouette Cameo (the holly leaves are 3D and are accented with Copic YG95 faux stitching) and the sweet reindeer is a Spellbinders die (nose colored with Copic R85). The pretty JustRite ornament was stamped with Cranberry ink onto Innocent Pink cardstock, the sentiment stamped with Bamboo Leaves ink, and then hand-trimmed. This ornament stamp coordinates with Spellbinders new 2012 Heirloom Ornament dies that will be released next week at CHA! Other ornaments in this set coordinate with two previous years of Spellbinders ornament dies, too! The ornament topper/hanger was stamped with Gray Flannel ink onto ivory cardstock and hand cut. The Spellbinders Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities border was machine zig-zag stitched onto the tag. The tag is finished with an ivory bow made from luscious May Arts wide silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. These JustRite designers also... Read more →
